Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Axiom CT-60 floor standing speakers

I read a lot of good reviews about Axiom. I am interested in getting a pair of floor standing speakers and I found someone selling a 2nd hand pair of Axiom CT-60. Tried hard to find reviews but couldn't find anything. Anybody know those speakers? Are they ok? Do they worth $100? Do you know the specifications?
Thanks in advance!

Are you referring to these ?

I don't know anything about a $350 CT series from a "couple of year ago", but the speakers photo'd have the driver layout of the M50s (currently at C$770) without the front port. So, I'm not really sure what they are. Hopefully a longer standing member will know...

Can you give them a listen? I grabbed some Michaura speakers recently - Axiom made them for an American company that went bust. They were well worth the little I paid for them. I think Axiom just makes great products in general. Ask to hear them. $100 sounds like a pretty good deal, in my opinion, even for an early Axiom floorstanding model.

Thanks you guys for replies. That's right "doormat", I was referring to those.( http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-electronics-Axiom-Speakers-CT-60-W0QQAdIdZ36018618) Except Axiom name, they seem to be pretty tiered and nobody could give me some info about them, yet. I think I should hear them as "ZG" suggested. The owner lives only 9km away.

Buy the Marantz, assuming that that french bit doesn't say that it doesn't work. $25 for a 2250?!

This seems like a great deal on a subwoofer too. If only there was good used Axiom stuff in the States. I'll just have to move back to Canada and fill my house with such great deals!

Unfortunately the guy says that doesn't work

The posting sounds quite interesting. I only got a cd+pream+amp system and no sub out. Thanks anyways,Zoë!

Shows how well I remember 4 years of French in high school. Sigh.

You don't need a sub-out, actually. You can daisy-chain it with the speakers. You would just need an extra set of speaker cable. And, if your speakers have two sets of posts - for biwiring - you can connect the sub directly from the lower posts, with the upper ones running from the amp directly. I have mine set up that way and it totally works like a charm! My amps are too old to have the sub out option. One is from 1958, the other is from the 80s!

That sub and those speakers seem like a steal. I'd grab both if I were you - if you can afford them. That would be the beginning of a budget audiophile system.

Just my 2¢!
